The first to be tried from my Winterwoods sample order! Their samples are a bit expensive but come in adorable little glass jars…
This is a pomegranate and lemon black tea. The ingredients list juniper berries, but I didn’t see any in my little jar. It’s pleasant enough, but I mostly just get the lemon part. I think it’s partially coming from the lemon slices, as it tastes quite natural and has a touch of tartness to it. The black base is a little tannic, and the lemon is accentuating that quality a bit, so the finish ends up being quite drying.
It’s fine, but nothing I’m too excited about. A bit imbalanced perhaps, but still an enjoyable lemony black tea.
